8-7 CUC. WHITEWATER mets down

What a comeback by Concordia -- five in the bottom of the ninth set up by three consecutive walks and a balk.

UWW led 7-0 at the 7th inning stretch. CUC scored 2 in the 7th and 1 in the 8th. CUC had one man on with two outs in the ninth and the went walk, walk, walk (run), balk (run), double (2 runs), single (run) for the win.

Attboy, Smitty!!! In your corner all the way through! It may say Concordia on the jersey, but I know there is a lot of Carthage in your heart!
Baseball is not a game that builds character, it is a game that reveals it.

Ultimately, Point's offense fails to show up again, as they see their season end with a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Webster.

For a team that had questions with their pitching staff coming into the season, their pitchers did enough to give them a chance to win as evidenced by being on the losing end of identical 4-2 scores at Regionals.

FINAL

Would LOVE to hear the rationale behind starting your #4 pitcher from Vodenlich...  Don't get it whatsoever!!!!

I can 't speak for Vo but only for myself.  I thought we might go with Bachar.  He's been pitching well but so had Nompleggi.  In hindsight Vo may have made a different decision. But his decision to go with Nompleggi wasn't without rational thought.   The WARHAWKS have dominated Ripon.  I don't know the exact W-L record but it's something like 20+ wins to fewer that 5 losses.  Unfortunately we weren't able to see them play this year because both dates we scheduled with them were cancelled by the weather.  Going into the game Nompleggi was 5-0 with an ERA under 3.5.  He was fourth on the staff in innings pitched and he'd pitched well in both of his previous starts (Oshkosh and Stout).  We did use Morgan, one of our top two, in relief and he struggled giving up 8 runs, 5 earned, 8 hits and walking 4 in five innings.  So who's to say that Ripon wouldn't have been successful against anyone we threw.

I give Ripon a lot of credit.  They clearly came ready to play.  They were solid defensively and it seemed like everything they hit was just out of the reach of our fielders.  Meanwhile nearly everything we tried didn't work.  We walked Polcyn only to have the hitter behind him grand slam us.  We seemed to be emotionally flat.  It was just one of those days.  Sometimes you roll the dice and snake eyes come up.  Nobody has the benefit of hindsight until it's over.

And, frankly, it paled in comparison to what happened Saturday against Concordia-Chicago.

Congrats to UW-Lacrosse.  I hope they do well in Appleton.  Schwartz has done a good job building that program after it appeared the university wanted to shut it down.  Good luck, Eagles.

So that's kind of weird...

As I mentioned in both of the other threads that I posted the same article in, it's really not a surprise to anyone who happened to follow his college career...

I still haven't gotten over the fact he screwed point over.  When he called it quits at Milwaukee I'd have thought he would've gone to point rather than Oshkosh.  Didn't seem to want to play for a legit national title contender.

That had absolutely NOTHING to do with it...

No surprise at all with the top four spots. I think St. Johns will probably take over that 5 spot instead of St. Mary's next week (They swept St. Thomas last weekend).
